Push Team
Push Team is an All-Ukrainian basketball club with three locations in Kyiv:

KNTEU Sports Complex (Lisova metro station, Kioto St. 19)
We recruit girls and boys aged 5 and older. There are always 2-3 coaches at practices, allowing for an individual approach to each child and group division by skill level.
After just two months of training, participants take part in our own club tournament, Push Championship.

Several teams play in the European Youth Basketball League (EYBL) with the possibility of sports scholarships abroad.
